today i landed my first shuv it. ive been tryin for about a week now. it was sloppy becuase i was leaned back draggin my a$$ across the water and managed to pull myself back up.i have the rotation down pact its just my landing. i really concentrate on keeping my feet spread and when i land i catch it perfectly but then i cant keep my balance and ride away. it seems i always tend to fall back. but when i try and lean foward i always nose dive. any tips on keeping my balance centered. thanks

sounds like your doing everything right. just bend your knees when u come down so your less likely to slip offf the board. also use your backhand for balance, at 20mph you can always drop ur back hand onto the water to keep you up. eventually youll learn to do them standing up more.
